How Much Does A Styrofoam Densifier Cost?

Foam densifiers, as a kind of equipment specialized in recycling and processing foam, have received more and more attention in the plastic recycling industry in recent years. With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, many companies have started to invest in foam densifiers for efficient foam recycling. So how much does a foam densifier cost? In this article, we will discuss its price factors and related content.

Functions of a foam densifier

The main function of the styrofoam densifier is to physically compress the larger volume of foam (such as EPS and EPE) into a smaller volume of block material, the machine’s compression ratio can be up to 60:1. This process not only effectively reduces the space occupied by the foam, but also improves the recycling efficiency of the foam for subsequent granulation or reuse to lay the foundation for the recovery of plastic foam, which is an important piece of equipment in styrofoam recycling.

Factors affecting the styrofoam densifier cost

Densifier model and specifications: different models of foam densifiers differ in processing capacity, technical parameters and design. Generally speaking, the densifier cost with higher production capacity is also relatively high.

Production process and technology: Densifiers with advanced technology and efficient production process are usually more expensive, but their performance and efficiency are also more superior.

Brands and suppliers: equipment of well-known brands tends to be more expensive due to its quality and after-sales service guarantee. And some emerging brands may attract customers with lower prices, but there may be differences in quality and after-sales service.

Market demand and raw material prices: changes in market demand for foam densifiers and fluctuations in the prices of raw materials (e.g. metals, electronic components, etc.) will also directly affect the styrofoam densifier cost.

Market price of foam densifier for sale

According to market research, the current styrofoam densifier cost is roughly between $3,000 and $5,000 USD, depending on the model, features, and manufacturer of the recycling equipment. Small or medium-sized foam densifiers generally have lower prices, while large, high-performance densifiers have higher prices.

Foam densifiers are affordable and at the same time essential machines for styrofoam recycling business. In the long run, there is a growing market demand for recycled foam and companies are able to make a financial gain by selling the recycled foam material.
